Greek, I think he's saying (to me) that she's going to have PLENTY of time for instrospection when she's alone and without SP.
I stand by my original point, however, and that is -- in these conversations, when she shows real vulnerability about her fears and doubts -- that SP would be better service (and so would Mrs. SP!) if he wouldn't do so much humor/rescuing/softening, and instead went with a "I understand, that must be difficult" vague validation approach.
